The Arrington Gavin Show Ep. 627 “AFTER PLATNER: WHO CAN TAKE ON SUSAN COLLINS?”

With Graham Platner no longer in the race, Maine Democrats are facing one of the biggest decisions of the 2026 election cycle: Who has the best chance to take on longtime Republican Sen. Susan Collins?

Tonight on The Arrington Gavin Show, we examine the growing list of potential Democratic contenders and what each could bring to the race. Is there a candidate who can quickly unite the party, energize voters, and mount a competitive challenge against one of the Senate's most recognizable incumbents? Or has the Democratic Party been forced into a difficult reset at the worst possible time?

We'll break down the strengths and weaknesses of the names being floated, discuss what Democratic voters are looking for in their next nominee, and explore how this unexpected shake-up could reshape not only Maine politics, but the battle for control of the U.S. Senate.

Who gives Democrats their best shot? And can anyone truly defeat Susan Collins?

Join the conversation tonight on The Arrington Gavin Show.
